I will try do it at work tomorrow ;-)

Man.. I wanna scream..

I installed the Compaq Service Pack for the ML530
I took the ram down to under 1gb abd it Blue screened by the login

I moved the network cards around and it Blue screened

I uninstalled the network cards and Installed a SMC card and it blue screened.

i have installed the network cards from the latest drivers from HP

I can boot to safe mode, and when I disable the cards the server boots to normal mode fine and is stable..

as soon as I activate one of the cards in NORMAL mode the server will blue screen between 5 min or on the reboot.

there are no viruses or other things on the PC as the antivitus is working fine

what about the bios ? or would this not affect it ?

[Sunil Jerath]

Hello Paul,
I am sorry for the problems you are having. Surely do update the BIOS if it's not done already. If by using the third party NIC did not help then it's not the HW. You have tried moving the card in different slots that did not help you either. Have you contacted MS at all about this?? The only other thing I can think of would be to replace the system board but not sure if that's going to help you. In any case if I do hear something about it I shall let you know.

Regards,

[Paul_358]

If I reinstalled windows by doing a "upgrade" would all my settings remain the same ?
Ie DHCP, DNS, Domain name, Zones etc etc...

there is a second DC with the AD on

[Sunil Jerath]

Hello Paul,
The upgrade is suppose to keep all the previous settings but I would suggest you to be double sure by calling MS for this.

Regards,

[Paul_358]
